I flew a few times in an "orange colored" 747 (no prizes for guessing the company!) between Heathrow and Houston around 1978. All that rattling during takeoff was something that we shared with our peers (with smiles, of course) who traveled more regularly than I ever did. Truly fascinating to acquire more knowledge on the 747 engineering.

What happened to lead FBI investigator for that "sad" event? Fell off the radar after a few months of forensic work?

I believe the AN-225 used to visit KIAH in the past. It may have been the AN-124 if I'm mistaken although it would be difficult to mistake the former by a more experienced person than myself.

There is technology and then there is economics. The real world of commercial aviation is skewed by opaque accounting practices (lasts as long as they can get away with these). I only hope that we sustain the flow of commercial pilots with living wages to maintain the advances in aviation.

Million dollar aircraft and still using membrane keyboards? I had to use a $9 (MSRP) keyboard at work (the Gray Lady of Silicon Valley) and came home to a electro-mechanical keyboard at home. My keyboard is still working. Wonder what happened to the Gray Lady!

The current contract for government trips to ME is with JetBlue, I believe. Guess which airline is the proxy for this service? Sad? As I remarked in another thread, let us hope that the "neo" variants of B787 and A750 render the ME layovers extinct. The audacity of a BOAC (yeah, I'm ancient too!) or British Caledonian reject to lecture on profitability.
